[KnifeNut88]

NEWFOUNDLAND DOES NOT HAVE EVEN CLOSE TO THE FLAG AS IRELAND! YOU ARE RETARDED! GOOGLE NEWFOUNDLAND'S FLAG YOU DUMB ASS!

[curtmang]

@KnifeNut88 The old Republic of Newfoundland flag was much the same as Ireland's; instead of orange, white, and green, it was pink, white, and green.

[daveakamc]

has anyone ever told you that you look a bit like robert webb

[WendySunVal]

[krizzta]

Just gotta ask... is that the republic of newfoundland flag behind you... if so... a `wadda yeat` is in order.

[IrishKanuck]

@krizzta

No thats the republic of ireland flag behind me.

[TheIrishCanuck]

@krizzta whats the republic of newfoundland?

[krizzta]

@TheIrishCanuck Well majority of Newfoundlanders are Irish descendants, we pretty much have the Irish accent, lol.

Before Newfoundland joined confederation with Canada, we were the Republic of Newfoundland.

Our flag was basically the exact same as Ireland’s except we used pink instead of orange.

[KnifeNut88]

@krizzta "republic of newfoundland flag" WTF? Are you drunk as shit?!?!

[krizzta]

@KnifeNut88 lol.... the republic of newfoundland flag is the same as the Ireland flag, except it uses pink... I'm not drunk...you're just uneducated.

[lesjsin]

PS - have you thought about trying or buying a drum with a synthetic skin?? Howard drums, like mine, have a great sound, and once you tune them to your satisfaction, they rarely have to be altered. Lots of people say they love the sound of mine, and so do I.

[lesjsin]

Hi Kanuck, I HAD to hear you play to this. Whenever I hear it played at sessions, I KNOW I'm in for a sweaty time!! It's REALLY fast and furious, but I love it too. Glad to see you're still uploading and playing. Les Singleton (bodhran player) from Bakewell, Derbyshire.

[alandublin26]

[privatebuttercup]

Your great!

[carlaturc]

Thanks Kanuck. Sorry my english! I'm italian.. I've learned the bodhran from you. Thanks a lot!!

[TessSweden]

This is my favourite video by you. Really enjoyed it. Decided today to buy a bodhrán and learn how to play it. Gonna use some of your tips to get started. Then I'm off to Ireland's pubs.

/Tess from Sweden

[fibbafox]

Thanks, Kanuck, love all your vids. Got my first bodhran in December & you've helped massively! Cheers from Cornwall, UK

[MandyMayzy]

I take back all my comments,you drum major ass!Havent heard that tune in yrs.

[CommanderBly47]

I've been wondering.

What are those two patches you have on the wall?

They look like Master Chief Petty Officer insignias of the US Navy.

But I can't see the top design.

[toolfreak10000]

dude those are canadian sea cadet patches

[CommanderBly47]

Wow.

You're amazing.

Really.

5/5

[Ben8199]

I wanna tell you, i've been playing the bodhran for 2 months now, and you have a very clean sound! :D

[louisasmiles]

[1SlapHappy1]

Awesome! Friggin' LOVE this tune!

[Maddisun]

LOVE!

[WildlifeWarrior4ever]

WOW! Your so amazing at drumming! ^^ I love this song your playing too. From the movie Titanic, right?? lol. Anyways, keep of the amazing rhythm!

[YuriBaby]

I love this song by itself, but you make it sound even better! Irish jig music is amazing. :)

[drummerlead]

Isn't this one of the tunes that was played in the movie "Titanic" when Jack and Rose are dancing in the steerage section of the ship? Sure...I recognize it! Irishkanuck I thank you for posting all of these videos with your bodhran playing! I love trying out new percussion instruments! This one is just one of the few I have not tried yet.

[wogman58]

You're good.

My bodhran drum head is messed up I wish it would sound better.

[DontForgetOli]

gr8 song love it well done check my page

[thatguyintheback]

Excellent !!! Wow!!!

[dogbert89]

What happened to those cool "Eric Rules" signs? That guy rocked

[IrishKanuck]

haha shut up Eric hahaha

[Planeswalker555]

Nice one !! You listen to a lot of Gaelic storm am I right!!^^

I'll have a shot at it myself! see u

[pickinduck]

Fantastic! :D

[vivaarnoldo]

"Nothing special, just a great tune." Your wrong, anytime someone thinks of others...its special. And by sharing with us, that makes for something special. And you are correct, it is a great tune. But being part Irish (O'Sullivan) I have an ear for the music and you I suspect; for the blarny. Thank you for posting. Looking forward to your next post. No really, I am looking forward to your next post. Also, great drum work. I know drummers with full drum kits that do much less with them.

[eagle416]

I didn't know you could tune a bodhran. Sounds great as always.

[SirQuady]

With a man made head you have to use a tuning key (if it is a tuneable bodhran). With a animal skin head, you can use cool water and heat to tune it, or a tuning key (again, if it's tunable). I have a goatskin head, tuneable bodhran, but i ususally just tune it with water, as i find that to be more hands on.

Anyways, sweet playing as always!

[polyaty]

totaly profesional,what a player,absolute awesome.hope to aim as good.
